title: [Diffuse malignant mesothelioma of the testicular tunica vaginalis. Report of a new case].
abstract: We present a case of diffuse malignant mesothelioma of the tunica vaginalis testis, a very uncommon tumor site, in a patient who also had a tumor localized to the chest. We could not determine however, whether the testicular neoplasm was a primary tumor or a distant metastasis. We describe this tumor type, its mode of presentation, diagnosis and treatment.
